Sustainable Procurement Consulting

Supply chain management is a key driver for companies seeking to address environmental and social impacts in their supply chain. It is also a lever for developing corporate social and environmental responsibility objectives in a company and addressing risk. We support companies to develop their sustainable procurement strategies and policies and review tenders as required.

Strategic Sustainable Procurement:

Colleen has recently published Strategic Sustainable Procurement: law and best practice for Public and Private Sectors  published by Routledge

Testimonial from Selina McCole, procurement professional: 

The book was a great introduction to the topic of sustainable procurement and was a very easy and fast read (when I finally got around to it), which is certainly much appreciated for busy professionals, so I really liked that approach.  I’d say the sub-title of the book most appropriately fits the content – “An overview of law and best practice”, as this is the sort of book I would definitely want to share with my new procurement colleagues – it provides a really good overview of best practice across the board for procurement and key considerations for RFPs, evaluation and contracts.  I also found it a useful refresher, having been out of the procurement scene for the past five years.

 

Addressing business risk:

Ignoring sustainability criteria in tenders or contracts may mean that businesses do not properly assess the environmental and social risks associated with their core goods and services. It is also a key factor for companies looking to obtain certification under some standards such as ISO 20121, the new ISO 14001, and any company seeking to manage its supply chain risk. We can help you by:

  • developing sustainable procurement strategies
  • identifying sustainability and human rights risks in the business supply chain
  • identifying how to implement sustainability criteria into business tenders, including human rights
  • advising on the drafting of sustainability criteria for use in service level agreements and contracts
  • helping you meet legal obligations under sustainable procurement legislation
  • developing scorecards and stakeholder engagement programs with suppliers
  • delivering bespoke training to directors, managers, and procurement and CSR staff
